Numberformat
The numberformat option specifies the format you want to use to display numbers.
Use this option if you want to change the default number format for the language of the message repository you are using.
By default, format information is obtained from the locale definition in effect at the time the client is called. Consult the documentation on your local system for details about setting up your locale definition.
You can only use the numberformat option with the expire command.
Options File
Place this option in the client user-options file (dsm.opt). You can set this option on the Regional Settings tab, Number Format field of the Preferences editor.

Examples
- Options file:
num 4- Command line:
-numberformat=4
This option is valid on the initial command line and in interactive mode. If you use this option in interactive mode, it affects only the command with which it is specified. When that command completes, the value reverts to the value at the beginning of the interactive session. This is the value from the dsm.opt file unless overridden by the initial command line or by an option forced by the server.
